We re peat that the question, as to THE SUCCESSION TO . THE THRONE 111 the HouNe of BRUNStVICY-, of so touch importance' not only to the present generation, but to the latest posteri t y 'of Britons, that it was , the duty of Ministers themselves to .bring it forward, even if they had not been excited ro the consideration of the subject in a qu'arter to which it was.also their duty to pay re= spect and obediettce. Our Present Establishment in Church anti State dependS upon the continu ance:of that Horse upon the Throne, otherwise POPERY, with all its horrors, may overwhelm us again with superstition and slavery. Frugality, in the present state of the country, is doubtless an important object, but a liberal expenditure on the part of a great Empire for the preservation of it's political and religious liberties is an essential object for the country in all succeeding ages. We therefOre think, that if it were found 'necessary to put bounds to the national generosity, it was by no means necessary, loyal, or decent, to treat the loyal Family as they were treated in'Parlia ment, not only by .the OPPOSITION, from whom such conduct was naturally to be expected, but by those who have hitherto appeared to act 'Ton different principles, and LO be actuated by more liberal feelings.

PRIVATE AND AITTIIENTIC CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, APRIL 13.—A itimou'r has been in cir culation these two days, that M. de la lloint- LERIE had been removed from Ilk situation as Under SecLetary of State. of the Finances', iid that this important post had teen confided to PORTAL, Deputy of the Gironde. It was said that the trews world appear in the Official Gazette this morning. • I have read it, but there is nothing in it of the "kind. , The'distnissAl of 1 .11. de•la B. would have produced an excellent - effect, and the nomination of AT. PORTAI. would not. have been less agreeable to all those who wish to see the Government firm, jloyarat and Constitittional. M. PORTAL, if I am not. Mistaken, , has never spoken in the Chamber; biit I learn from those who are well adyminted with hini, that he is. a man of great cApacity, of known probitY' 'and honour, and an enemy of all kindi of exaggera- It is nwt the same with M. (1213. 'No thing, it is true, can'be alleged againSt his,pro bity, but he is a man of a little mind, and'com pletely sold to the par yof the Ultras. Born in the middling class of, society, M. B. hall neither titles or dignities to lose by the Revolution: he was fOrmerly !he very humble and obsequious ser vant of BUONAPARTS, who employed him as Upper Clerk in the office of his own Treasury ;• it is therefore surprising that M. de B. should at present affect the-airs of a Grand Seigneur, and enter the lists as a Champion of tlristocratic Doc: trines. The tea on, however, is very simple. Thanks to his fortune, M. de B. has married a tion. young Lady of Quality, vain, active, and go-ar relsome, and who, in Order not to have to blush for her husband, will make him a Courtier, in spite of nature, and his star.s.. It is sincerely to be lioped, that ae'rumour of M. ale 13.'s dismissal is well s 'fOunded. This man has smuggled into a multitude of places belong ing to the.Miuistry of Finance at Paris, and hi tiie Country, the most violent partizans of , the Ultra Royalist Faction. .Now you will easily conceive that in France the individuals Who fill the places of Directors, Comptrollers, Receivers, Assessors, and Collectors of the Public Revenue, are perpetually in .contact -with Citizens of all classes, front the highest to the lowest. They have access to the hall of the rich, the modest dwelling of persons of middling fortune, and in the humble thatched cottage of the poor peasant, and have a thousand means, resulting from their situation, to act on public opinion, and give it the Colour that suits their purpose' best. Nothing, therefore; 'is more important than to confide the post of Under S cretary of State of the. Finances only to a man who is devoted to the King, and strongly attached to the Constitutional System. But it the French Ministry dismiss . M. de la BOUIL LER fE, it will only have done half.its work. It is praiieworthy to strike at the Ultras, but it must not spare the Demagogues ; the interest of the State requires this equal justice, and demands the dismissal also of M. LAFITTE, ‘ a man no led dang6ous than 111. de la 13outt.LERIE: When the French Ministry makes war against the enemies of the present System, it should always be armed with A tl% -e dged sword, so that each stroke may give two wounds at once. It would not then be expos-ed to hear that now it favours the Jacobins, and now is . ready to unite with the Ultras—re proaches the more unfottunate, as it deprives the Ministry of the support of the two extreme par tieS; without offering it that of the friends of the, King and tie Charter ; for what . confidence can men really attached, from principle, to• Gp' ment, liav'e in the Ministry,-when they find it perpetually oscillating between the two extremes, without ever resting in the centre. where alone it Would find strength and repose? 1 again repeat to you,' Sir, that the Charter is in danger of perishing by the very hands who are paid to defehrd it. MACHIAVPA., if '1 8111 not mistaken, says, somrrrher that it is not'enough t 6 strike a great political stroke. Yon must fol lowit.up it) all its developements and r►ritifiCa= tions, and foresee its •'consequences ; and that many Governments have.perislied for want of those who were at the helm of affairs being able to f►►llow up , pioperly a vigorous act,, in itself wise and prudent ; and 1 fear that posterity will find an afflicting proof of this.judgn►ent of Mn- cut AV EL in -r he °Molina nee of the 6th September, t 1 the pusillanimous conduct of Ministers after that bold stroke. Up to the present moment, this Ordonnance has been a dead letter, or tike a tree that does not shoot forth roots.
